My aim was not to rush.
I'm currently looking at what needs to be implemented in WebKit to support 
MathML 3.
I noticed that a lot of entities are not implemented and I first thought it was 
easy to implement.

After this discussion on the mailing list, it appears not to be so simple.

I filled a bug to continue the discussion and track the progresses in a 
refactoring of the entity parser:
